UNITED STATES PATENT @Erica ANDREW B. LIPSEY, OFVEST HOBOKEN, NEV JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO WILL- IAM BELL, OF NEWT YORK, N. Y.

BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,587, dated April 8, 1884.

I Application tiled May Q1., 1883. (No model.)

To t/Z whom, it may concern:

Beit known that l, ANDREW B. Lrrsnv, of West Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Burners, of

which the following is a specification.

Myimprovement relates to gas and oil burners of the annular or Argand type, 'such as are used for illuminating purposes.

The object of the improvement is to enable suchburners to produce a larger quantity of light than they ordinarily do; and to this end the improvement consists, principally, in the combination, with such a burner, of a peculiarlyshaped deiiector.

The accompanying drawing is a central vertical section of agas-burnerand appurtenances embodying the improvement.

A designates the burner. lt has an annular 2e burner-tip, a, and consequently is of the Wellknoyvn Argand type. At thelower end it has a socket, b, whereby it may be attached to the nipple of a gas-fixture, and from this socket hollow arms or tubes c extend to the burnertip a.

B isa chimney-gallery, with which theburner is provided. This chimneygallery, as also the burner, may be made of metal inthe ordinary manner. A chimney, C, made of glass and of 3o cylindric shape, is supported on the chimneygallery and extends above the burner.

C designates a deector arranged Within the chimney. As shown, it is supported ona rod, D, extending up from the junction of the hollow arms or tubes c, and screwed thereto. The

dellector may be of cylindrical form, but preferably it `will flare or increase in diameter upwardly. It may be an integral part of the rod D, butpreferably it will be made separately 4o therefrom and slipped over the same, so as to rest on a shoulder, d, formed on the rod. When thus made separately from the rod, it will preferably be made of porcelain or asbestus, or any White material which Will become incandescent '45 when heated. The distinctive features of this be of the same diameter throughout its length, 5o and when made lla-ring the base portion will be considerably smaller than the inner wall of the burner-tip; but at the upper end Will be nearly as large in diameter as the inner Wall of the burner-tip.

It is of great advantage to make thedeflector as long as the flame intended to be produced, for then the air will not be forced violently against the llame, and then allowed to turn back to the center of the, chimney and pass off through the same, as when av short deflector is used, but is forced gently and gradually toward the llame and kept in'contact with the flame until it is all utilized in combustion. Of course I make deflectors of different lengths for different-sized burners accordingly as the llames to be produced by them vary in length. The rod D, as here shown, extends considerably above the deflector G', and supports a shade-holder, E. Therod is shouldered near the upper end, 7o and the shade-holderis provided with a socket, which fits on the rod and rests on its shoulder.

Arms f extend between the shade-holder and its socket. A shade, F, fits outside the shadeholder, and is'thereby supported. 75

Although I have only shown my improvement in connection With a gas-burner, it may be used in connection with an oil-burner. The dedector will have the same size relatively to the dame and interior Wall of the burner tip or tube as in the gasburner.

The rod supporting the dedector may be erected on a spider or openwork frame arrangedY in the burner tip 0r tube when the deilectcr is combined with an oil-burner.

I do not claim, broadly, a deilector made flaring from end to end, nor a deileotor as high as the llame produced; nor do I claim, broadly, a deilector of approximately the same size as the inner Wall of the burner-tube.

"What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a burner, of a delector destitute of any air-passage, extending approximately the saine height as the flame to be produced by the burner, having its largest portion approximately the same size as the inner Wall of the burnentube, and adapted to direct air toward the flame through its entire the same size as the inner Wall ofthe burnerlength, substantially as and for the purpose tube, and adapted to direct airtoward the 1o described. llame through its entirelength, substantially as 2. The combination, with a burner, of a and for the purpose described.

5 `delector destitute of any air-passage extend- -A. B. LIPSEY.

ing approximately the sameheight as the iiame l Vitnesses: to be produced by the burner, flaring upward, T. J. KEANE, and having its largest portion approximately l JAMES R. BOWEN.
